[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 722779, member: 1963"] A little horror story about medication theft. Many years ago, about a year and half before my husband died, he was on very heavy duty pain medications, including fentanyl and dilaudid. Because we didn't have any children, or have children around, we didn't think about locking up the medications, syringes for other medications, etc. We had a family gathering that my late brother in law's son from a previous marriage attended. After folks had left, I went to get husband's medications and discovered that all the narcotics and syringes were missing. I called the police. brother in law told them that he suspected his son had taken them. The next day, he tried to phone his son several times and got no answer. He finally drove over to son's apartment and pounded on the door, still no answer. He called the police and the police had the building mgr open the apartment. His son was dead. With a needle in his arm. Cause of death. Fentanyl and dilaudid overdose. He had somehow managed to extract the fentanyl from the patches, combine with dissolved dilaudid pills, and according to the autopsy results, was dead before he finished the injection. It was the fentanyl that killed him. husband went to his grave feeling like he'd killed the boy. Needless to say, after that, all medications were locked up. The rest of the medications and syringes were found in nephew's apartment. husband still had a hard time getting refills, but was able to as we had the police report. Luckily, we had a week's supply of medications and syringes held seperately, so husband didn't go into withdrawal before we got the medications replaced. Warn your mother, and please, all of you, secure your medications. You never know. [/QUOTE]
